Mufti Taqi Usmani Calls Makkah Emergency Siren a Warning for Muslim Ummah
KARACHI:Renowned Pakistani Islamic scholar Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani has expressed deep concern over the recent security situation in Saudi Arabia, particularly the reported attacks and the sounding of an emergency siren in Makkah.
In a statement shared on social media platform X, Mufti Taqi Usmani strongly condemned the targeting of Saudi Arabia amid the ongoing regional tensions.
He said that the sounding of an emergency siren in the holy city of Makkah for the first time in history was not an ordinary development but a major warning and a cause for concern for the entire Muslim Ummah.
Mufti Taqi Usmani described attacks against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during such sensitive circumstances as extremely dangerous and strongly condemnable. He expressed concern over the potential impact of the escalating regional crisis on the security of the holy sites.
He also criticized what he described as the United States’ reluctance to provide full support and security cooperation to Saudi Arabia during the current crisis. According to the scholar, Washington’s approach at this critical juncture raises questions about its long-standing policies toward the Muslim world.
Mufti Taqi Usmani’s remarks have drawn significant attention on social media, with users discussing the security situation in Makkah and the wider regional escalation.
